argument against Don Marquis


I totally disagree with Don Marquis on his belief that abortion is immoral. It’s not necessarily that I don’t believe that abortion is wrong, because to some extend I do. It’s the fact that Marquis makes it seem very bad and taboo like if you do get one you’re the worst person in the world. I believe that during life things happen and we make mistakes, and if there is a way to put aside that mistake then why not? The way Marquis is phrasing it makes it seem like it’s an injustice to get an abortion, which to me it is not. For example, a lot of teenagers in American get pregnant while they’re still in high school and they still have the rest f their lives to look forward to. I am not saying that by having a baby they can’t achieve their dreams, but it will be harder to do so. They are much more likely to leave school; receive inadequate parental care; rely on assistance to raise a child; or develop health problems. All of these issues could occur just by having a child. To me, I think it is worse to have a child and not be able to support it both mentally and financially than having an abortion because at least at the early stages it hasn’t really developed yet, so you’re not necessarily killing a human. I think it is shellfish to bring a child in this world and you’re not ready to take care of it because there are tons of things that can go wrong for both the baby and you; usually, they end up putting the baby through adoption because they can’t take care of them. Why would parent’s want their babies to have a rough childhood going from home to home rather than getting the abortion and waiting a little longer until you were fit to have a child? I do agree that abortion is wrong, but I believe being an unfit parent is even worse because the child is effected 100% of that mistake while and abortion you’re only effect. I can’t speak for parents, but they tend choose the latter part since they cherish their child’s lives over their own.
